Many people, who would not ordinarily have a reason to come to Waterloo, are drawn here by the night basebal games. If baseâ€" ball interest is throttled by the upkeep of the park as well as the basebal teams. Waterloo as a â€"whole will lose a great deal. J.H.S This is one problem that Waâ€" terloo and lglchenor councils could well get tofizm’ on, and (Continued on k Page) While there has been a great deal of publicity given to the lack of and the building of the Ceâ€" dar St. bridge, little or nothing has eyer been said about the road ASN.. een the bridge and it now, King St. won‘t be much better in a few years than it was before the new surface was At the grmm time it looks likke somet infi that has been unâ€" der constant fire for a period of time by a group of army morâ€" tars, and it wouldn‘t be much worse to drive over if such had been the case. Probably the main reason it is in such terrible shape, is that many of the heavy transports use this road as a short cut on to Ki:r St. If truck traffic is allowed to use King St. for very long at the rate they are using King St If this is the case, then someâ€" thing should be done so that the interest in baseball by the many, will not be smothered by the inâ€" terest in dollars by the few reâ€" sponsible for the park. Ernie also pointed out that any critic of the Baseball Asspciaâ€" tion must take into consideraâ€" tion that the gate from night baseball and the few games that are played in the daytime, are practically paying to keep the park in operation, and are also paying off the cost of the newly installed lighting and any imâ€" provements to the baseball area that are made. He admits that the Kitchener concession is probably selling "more" than the one in Waterâ€" loo, but attributes this to the fact that Kitchener has mostly dayâ€" time baseball games, while the great percentage of Waterioo games are held at night. . Ernie Goman, president of the Waterlo â€" Baseball Association,J does not believe that the park| ecneession in Kitchener is selling ) anything like 20 times as muchJ «s the one operated by the Assoâ€"| ciation in Waterloo. 1| We understand that a delegaâ€" tion of residents from this area, plan to meet Wth the Waterloo Council at théir next meeting on September 7th. A good perâ€" centage of the men from this area are veterans, and they are getting just a little bit "fed up" on paying high rent for a home located in an area that is accessâ€" ikle only by foot or in a vehicle that would have to be similar to an army tank. _ _ Last, but by no means least, is the fact that the children have no real place to playâ€"outside of a couple of loads of sand that have been dumped to mix conâ€" crete. Not only have they no place to play but it is dangerous to allow smallâ€"children out of sight of the parents; there are too many open manholes and trenches into which a small child might fall and stay for hours even if they weren‘t inâ€" jured in the fall. _ 0 If you readers have any doubt in your own minds that the roads and lighting aren‘t all that resiâ€" dents in this area claim, you are invited to drive up and see for youself{â€"but drive awful slow if you want to take your car home again all in one piece. _ "One man is even now suing the city because he fell down one uncovered manhole and broke his arm and there is a woman in the area who is still suffering f.om the effects of a fall that she had last autumn because of the poor lighting.". _ _ Uppermost in the minds of n.any of the residents of this urea is the fear that something wil happen to some of their famâ€" ily during or after a heavy rainâ€" fall. "How would they ever get an ambulance or even a docâ€" tor‘s car into this mess if it was wet, one man asked as he pointâ€" ed to the "road". Another chap said that he had broken one spring and one shock absorber on his car, and that several of the other residents had bad the same misfortune. "The soâ€"called roads," he said, "are ret even good cowâ€"paths, and when it rains they are just a sea of mud, through which it is pracâ€" tically impossible to drive any kind of vehicle." One of the mauin ubjections is that even after a year, there are still . only about three street lights to light the whole area. Talking to some or me Dust who live in the housing area, we find that they are all of the same opinion. ‘‘There has been too| much daudling on the part of| th0se who are responsible !or, the completion of this site," one | man said. ‘"We have been living | in this area for over a year, and so far they have done nothing tu’ build roads, complete outside lighting, and have taken long; enough to lay what little sideâ€"| walk they have down, to have completed the same job for lhe’ whole of Waterloo." | Recent cool weather may have (‘ kave cooled down the general . heat wave that everyone has Been suffering under; but it has done little to cool ‘the feelings | uf the residents in the Waterloo | Hou.sinf Area. Reason for such | Lot feelings on the part of these | residents is a remark attributed | i0 Edgar Bauer at a recent P.U.C. | meeting, claiming that "there was too much being done for | those residing in this housing area." Mayor Hilliard in replyâ€" ing to the remark said that} "lighting and road conditions in | this area were a disgrace". { Around | Waterloo Vol. 81, No. 35 UREL G J.H.S Dogs must remain tied untit Oct. 15.

The Baden fire department responded to the alarm and stood by to save the house if it was threatened. The men rushed to save the stock and succeeded in driving out most of the hogs and poultry and all the cattle except a Durâ€" ham calf. The season‘s grain crop, nearly 50 tons of hay and straw and farm equipment were all destroved The last of the season‘s grain was being thfeshed when flames were discovéred in one of the mows Fire Destroys St. Agatha Barn ST.

One wall was badly burnâ€" ed, holes were burned in the ceiling and floor, and some furniture _ was _ destroyed. Damage is estimated â€" at $1,000. The motorists whose action saved the house from deâ€" struction, departed without leaving their names, Two firemen from Kitchâ€" ener fire department reâ€" sponded to a call for help. Neighbors also helped to exâ€" tinguish the blaze. The residence of Elum Martin was well ablaze when two Hamilton men, driving by, saw smoke issuing from the home. None of the resiâ€" dents of the ‘building were at home, but the men broke in and started to throw pails of water on the fire.
